Depression Vs Donation

948 Words4 Pages

It’s a terrible feeling; the idea that happiness is forever out of reach. Depression is all too familiar in current-day society; social norms and human nature make it truly difficult to share true emotions, so things like depression are suppressed and manifest themselves as things often worse than just intense sadness. On the other hand, something like donating an organ would be looked upon with immense praise and everyone around you would ensure that, should a donator need help, they would certainly get it. Depression and donation aren’t actually all that different; in fact, they’re similar in the ideas that you interact differently with others and nobody can visibly see if someone has or has done either; however, society sees these as two very different things; in addition, donations are optional. …show more content…

With depression, it makes it difficult to start a conversation with, or even acknowledge, another person due to a fear of judgement placed by said person. Because of this, many people with depression hate being in public and are sometimes even labeled as ‘just introverts’, which is entirely false. Extroverts can just as easily become depressed and refuse to go out into public. With donations of any kind, someone is giving another person what they need - be it money, clothing, or an organ - without knowing them on any sort of personal level; something that isn’t easy to do. It imbues people with a sense of accomplishment and success, a far greater feeling than

    If someone goes shopping and spends hundreds of dollars on items and don’t donate, that says something about who they are as a person. While shopping a constant reminder is right there. A sad, innocent, starving, child stares up begging for someone to help. While the shopper may be well-off or struggling to put groceries on the table for their family, they then realize that there is someone out there who has it much worse. Shoppers who may not be very eager to donate begin to see how ignoring this world problem makes reflects on them as a person.

    Although each time someone displayed generosity they had a different motive, all of them wanted to bless another person. They all wanted to connect and show appreciation to a friend. The First Purchase Church Congregation, the Black Community, and Arthur Radley all displayed generosity, despite having different motives behind their actions. Acts like tithing can be performed out of generosity, but they can also be forced by another person. While God wants humans to give out of a generous heart, occasionally people give from a sense of duty.

    Between 1450 and 1700, almost half of Europe was living in poverty. As famine, war, and economic dislocation grew rampant, there were regions where 80 percent of the population faced starvation daily. The massive poor population led to a myriad of attitudes and responses towards the poor, including that the poor were idle, that they needed to be regulated, that helping the poor was the moral thing to do, and that the poor should be helped because it will improve the life of the donor.

  • Analysis Of Moral Obligation By Peter Singer

    The argument Peter Singer brought to the table explicitly mentioned that it was everyone’s moral obligation to give to charities, in the hopes of aiding those in need. I argue against that point, and instead suggest that it should be promoted to the general public that charities are given to. A “moral obligation”, isn’t something which actually exists. The simple reason for this, is because morality in of itself, is completely relative.

    In one circumstance, we may feel the need to give to those who are poor to keep them from getting in our personal space; and in other circumstances we feel that we give to others out of the kindness of our heart. I completely agree with Ascher and her views on compassion, because I have been in similar situation where I have questioned why people give money, and whether they give with a whole heart or out of necessity. Furthermore, this essay can teach us plenty of lessons that can be utilized throughout our lives so we can teach others and make them aware of the need to be more

    It’s extraordinary how much money we spend on things that are completely unnecessary to our survival. Not every house needs a TV in every room and not all students need a personal computer. However we as people are greedy by nature and therefor do end up spending tons of money on things like that. This is promoted more and more through social media, TV, magazines, newspapers, etc… Yet we could be spending more (if not all) of our extra money of helping others who have nothing. Peter Unger a New York University Philosopher calculated the cost to save a child’s life “By his calculation, $200 in donations would help a sickly two-year-old child transform into a healthy six-year-old” (Singer).

  • Organ Donation Persuasive Essay

    562 Words  | 3 Pages

    The argument of whether organ donors should be compensated for their efforts has become a heated topic. The two sides of the argument have equally valid points, but one must look to the benefit of not only the organ recipients, but also to the donors and to their well-being. There are more ways than one to get the desired organs, not all of them legal in the least. The exploitation of the poor that would accompany the choice of paying people for organ donation would most likely be devastating. Ultimately, organ donation should remain a gift between the donor and the recipient to reduce the chance of exploitation of any participants.
